Single Successes

Posted on | August 5, 2011 | 7 Comments

This was my last full week of being married to my Ex. This time next week, I will be sitting in a court room, waiting for the the judge to hear evidence and grant me an uncontested divorce. I will walk out of that courtroom onto the gorgeous streets of downtown Savannah and I will go straight to brunch with a friend or two. And I will try not to cry. And then I will go to my favorite salon and have my hair clipped and colored until I emerge different… in every way.

So for today, and probably for next week, too, my success is merely survival. I am still breathing. I am still getting up and going to work. I am here.

And that’s a big deal for me these days.

But I would really love to hear what you’ve been up to… what you did this week that made you feel like a superhero or just less of a failure.

Link up your blog below, preferably one that actually discusses what you succeeded at this week so I can give out some virtual high fives!

Hey – I popped on over from Twitter and wanted to let you know that I’ll be thinking of you.

I totally wrote a blog post that talks about one of my successes this week, so I might just link up. I really hope your week comes with some awesome positivity for you too!

I’m sorry that you are having a rough week. This comment is really a comment for this, and your last few posts — I’ve been at off-site meetings all week and haven’t had much computer time. I know that nothing I can say will make things any better, but I am thinking of you and sending you some virtual hugs and moral support. Hang in there.

Know that you’ve been in my thoughts and will continue to be. Sometimes, survival is the best success there is.

We have had a few minor successes this week; linked up above!

I wish I had a blog to link to, but I have not gotten to be that good at juggling to maintain a blog. Soon… But this Tuesday, I managed to put up with some serious undeserved hostility from the head partner all day, then go home to a trashed house (courtesy of my MIL having her family over while watching our boys), then take both boys to the pediatrician to check out the little one who was running a fever. From 6:20 until 8:20 p.m. I sat in a small, hot, room trying to keep a 4 year old and a sick 2 year old occupied. The result? Ear infection and strep throat.

Then a race to the pharmacy before it closed, and THEN I had to feed them dinner (because MIL only gave them a snack) and bathe them (two hours crawling around a pediatrician’s office merited a bath). After everyone was asleep at 10 p.m., it was time for me to fire up the laptop and get back to work.

I am proud of not losing my mind that day. And I am proud of you for handling this rough patch with such dignity, no matter how you feel you are handling it. Hugs.

We have COMPLETELY different issues but I just had my first special needs specific blogging-world to real life play date. Dude, I am super reserved and awkward in person. This was a BIG deal for me!

But yeah for you, planning bruch & salon time thereafter! Virtual hugs this week.

Tough week for you, but you are getting through it. You can do it. And you should do something nice for yourself next week, like a good meal with a friend or a good book or a new makeup.

My accomplishment of the week: I made 8 curtains (one set for my bedroom, one set for my dining room). And I don’t sew. And I have 3 kids under 6 so it pretty much sucked every single available spare minute this week. But I think it was a decent accomplishment 🙂
